Bab 597: Shattered Vortex: The Pillars

The abomination roared in agony as the light beam severed its connection to the dark vortex. The malevolent energy feeding it dissipated, and its movements became sluggish. The monstrous fusion of beasts began to disintegrate, its body unraveling into tendrils of dark energy that were dissipating into the air.

The defenders, sensing the shift in the battle, pressed their advantage. Ruby, Lyle, and Nicholas attacked with renewed vigor, their strikes finding purchase as the creature's regeneration slowed to a crawl. With each blow, chunks of the abomination's flesh fell away, revealing the grotesque amalgamation of beasts within.

Elara and the others maintained the counterspell, their faces etched with concentration and strain. The magic circle pulsed with increasing intensity, its light growing brighter with each passing moment. The vortex above began to shrink, its dark energy dissipating into the night sky.
